As mentioned earlier, Gray Cook is a physical therapist known for his work with elite athletes, and he has spearheaded a massive paradigm shift in athletic preparation away from training muscles toward training movement patterns. In doing so, he developed the Functional Movement Screen, a seven-test screen used to identify side-to-side imbalances or gross mobility/stability limitations that will significantly decrease an athlete's performance and increase the risk of injury.

In a matter of 10-15 minutes, a weekend warrior can have an idea of exactly what he needs to work on to quickly improve performance and decrease injury risk. The FMS is now an accepted part of the screening process for athletes in every major professional sport.
